This palm is very fast, easy of execution and indetectible.

1. Hold the pack in the left hand as for dealing, then move the thumb to the left side. Place the right hand over the pack, the fingers at the outer end and the thumb at the inner end.

2. Lift the cards to be palmed with the tip of the right little finger at the outer right corner of the pack.

3. Move the right fingers a quarter of an inch to the right, the little finger carrying its cards with it, the packet pivoting on the right thumb at the center of the inner end. Place the tip of the left forefinger against the extreme outer right corner of the packet directly under the tip of the right little finger.

4. Press the left forefinger and the right little finger together, clipping the corner of the packet to be palmed between these two finger tips, Fig. 1.

5. Straighten the left forefinger to the right, moving the little finger with it, thus moving the packet to the right and causing it to swing up against the right palm in perfect position for palming, Fig. 1. Twist the left wrist upwards and outwards to bring the remainder of the pack into view as much as possible.

6. Finally square the ends of the remaining cards with the right thumb and fingers and grip the pack by the right hand corners with the right hand.

Note that when the left little finger holds a break and it is desired to palm the cards above the finger, the break is allowed to move down to the outer right corner of the pack so that the right little finger can instantly secure the cards desired.
